I tried following the tutorial at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Trdd9EnmqY&list=PLgCYzUzKIBE-vInwQhGSdnbyJ62nixHCt&index=8. Some methods used in it recently became deprecated, so I checked the documentation at https://developers.google.com/places/android-sdk/autocomplete, especially "Get place predictions programmatically" and "Migrating to the New Places SDK Client". But I have not been able to get all the places in kotli

Answer 1

Pass the selected prediction to query more details as shown below.

fun fetchPlace(prediction: AutocompletePrediction) {

    // Specify the fields to return.
    val placeFields = listOf(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.ADDRESS, Place.Field.LAT_LNG)
    val request = FetchPlaceRequest.newInstance(prediction.placeId, placeFields)

    // Use same PlacesClient instance used to fetch predictions
    placesClient.fetchPlace(request).addOnSuccessListener { response: FetchPlaceResponse ->
        response.place.latLng?.let {
            // lat lng details
        }
    }.addOnFailureListener { exception: Exception ->
        if (exception is ApiException) {
            val statusCode = exception.statusCode
        }
    }
}
